The First-Ever Podcast Dissertation


 
Emily gazed with melancholy awe upon the castle… Silent, lonely and sublime, it seemed to stand the sovereign of the scene, and to frown defiance on all who dared to invade its solitary reign.
— Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794)

While reading, researching, and writing my dissertation on the Gothic novel, I realize I've been living in one for the past five years...

In this first-ever podcast dissertation, I take listeners along on my daring quest to complete my Ph.D. and escape the crumbling castle of the Grad School Gothic.

Along the way I find myself stumbling through emotional pitfalls, getting trapped behind intellectual gates, and becoming spooked by ancient academic rituals that refuse to lie down and be buried.

Can a dissertation really work in podcast form?

Will I escape the Grad School Gothic alive?

They only way to find out is to tune in.
